5% custom equipment

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:
- implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
- the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
- the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to tweak X class.

5% custom equipment

Post by Mattamue » Mon Dec 02, 2019 3:50 am

This may still require some work per request, but I assume less than a custom race. If custom equipment is below the threshold please consider keeping them around in some form. I suggest guidelines like choosing four from a list: +4 ab max, +4 ac (not boots), 1+2 stat, 2 +1 stats, one use per day found on existing items, +4 any skill, 26 Sr, spell slots (level appropriate for the class... 1x pala/ranger level 3-4, wiz/cler/sorc/dru 1x 5-6), giving a weapon the -twohand ability, +2 uni, runic, keen, weight reduction 80-90%, damage immunity 5% all, damage bonus +6, 1d4 element.

Some form of item option may happen, but I think it's less likely to be a 'pick your stats' and more likely to be a 'pick a item.' E.g. - instead of saying 'HI I got a 5% roll, I want a +5 Greatsword with 1d8 bonus to giants on it!' it'll be 'Hello, I'd like a Holy Avenger as per the item list.' or 'Hi I'd like a Onyx Panther Figureen as per the item list.'
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)
